This is a strange collection of tales some of which I enjoyed, some of which I didn't. I loved The Sepia Postcard and Eisenheim the Illusionist, both of which I found very well written and inventive with just enough hints at reality to suck the reader in and keep you thoroughly engrossed from start to finish. The remaining tales were a little odd and I found I just couldn't get into them that much, particularly the first story, A Game of Clue, I just didn't see the purpose of that at all. Rain I found strangely interesting yet it still somehow left me a little underwhelmed by the end but I can't put my finger on why. Overall this is an interesting collection with something for everyone but will 'in fill' stories that don't quite do the job.
